"Feeling stressed out? Social media, homework, tests, and relationships can create deep anxiety. So can concerns about health and world affairs. Research shows that a regular mindfulness practice can help calm the mind, improve focus, and build happiness. Living mindfully involves paying attention to your inner and outer experiences with patience and without judgment. It also means acting and making choices with thoughtful consideration rather than impulsively. One key aspect of mindfulness is meditation. This ancient practice involves quieting the mind through breathing exercises and intentional inward focus, for a peaceful, relaxed, and natural state of awareness. Many people live mindfully without meditating. They eat, move, talk with friends, relax in nature, prepare for sleep, and make decisions about using their devices--all with intention. In fact, many people choose to go device-free for regular periods of time as part of their mindfulness practice. Studies show that this reduces technostress without increasing concentration and productivity. Discover more about mindfulness and guided and unguided meditation. Tap into the long tradition of meditation while learning what neurologists are finding out about the positive impacts of mindfulness and meditation on the human brain.
